Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life Audio Book

"It is in this solitude that we discover that being is more important than having, and that we are worth more than the result of our efforts."—Henri J.M. Nouwen

Drawing on three moments in Jesus' life, Henri Nouwen invites us to consider the tension between our desire for solitude and the demands of our contemporary lives. He points out that it was in solitude that Jesus discovered the courage to follow God's will. He shows us that fruitful love and service spring from a living relationship with God. Beautiful and profound in its simplicity, Out of Solitude is as relevant today as when it was written 30 years ago.
